Apple iPhone 14 Plus, 128GB, Purple - Unlocked (Renewed)

I'm not into paying new prices for phones, nor do I care about incremental upgrades every year. If you're like me and got about 8 years out of your last phone which was on its absolute last legs and needed replacing, you probably found yourself here trying to find a deal. And, I think I might've. Because of what I outlined above, I opted for a three year old 14 Plus (unlocked) model to replace my beaten and worn XR. The condition I opted for was the middle one. The phone came right to life and the battery health showed 85%, more than acceptable. There were very minor scratches on the side and around the rear camera, again more than acceptable. The scratches on the side were completely covered by a case and the ones around the camera don't affect its function and honestly probably won't even be noticed by others. The screen was mint and so was the rear glass. The phone I was sent must've been from an Asian region as the language that came up by default was one I didn't understand at all, but it wasn't difficult to swipe around a bit and get it changed over to English. Saw a couple others note that as a complaint, but it really shouldn't be one. Took mere seconds to get the language sorted out. Zero complaints with function as of day one. The setup and transfer went seamlessly. Will update in the future if anything goes wrong, but as of now I'm happy with my purchase, a couple blemishes and a couple model years for about a quarter of what a new rig runs you for is a good deal far as I'm concerned.

I recently purchased the Apple iPhone 14 Plus, 128GB, Blue - Unlocked (Renewed) on Amazon as a gift for my daughter, and she absolutely loves it! This is my honest review after a few weeks of her daily use. First off, the blue color is stunning—it's that vibrant yet sophisticated shade that looks premium without being flashy. The 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display is huge and gorgeous; she says the screen is so sharp and bright for watching videos, scrolling social media, or FaceTiming friends. It's perfect for her as someone who spends a lot of time on her phone. Performance-wise, the A15 Bionic chip handles everything smoothly—no lag when switching apps, gaming lightly, or multitasking. The battery life is one of the best parts: she easily gets through a full day (and often more) with heavy use, and the up to 26 hours of video playback claim feels spot-on for her streaming habits. The cameras are fantastic too—the advanced system takes beautiful photos in any light, and she loves the Cinematic mode for fun videos. Coming from an older phone, she was thrilled with how crisp and detailed everything looks. Since it's Renewed (Amazon's refurbished program), I was a bit cautious at first, but it arrived in excellent condition—no visible scratches, dents, or issues with the screen. It was fully functional right out of the box, charged quickly, and set up seamlessly with her Apple ID. Being unlocked, it works perfectly with our carrier, and she appreciates the 128GB storage for all her photos, apps, and music without constantly worrying about space. My daughter (who's picky about her tech) has been raving about it non-stop: "Dad, this feels like a brand-new phone!" She's especially happy with the big screen for reading and the all-day battery that means she doesn't have to hunt for chargers constantly. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars—great value for a renewed unit, especially compared to buying new. If you're looking for a large-screen iPhone with solid performance and modern features on a budget, this renewed iPhone 14 Plus is a winner. Highly recommend!

The phone is 5 stars but the experience is 4 stars. Phone works perfectly, I was able to verify that it's a genuine original manufactured iPhone, the battery life is great, and it works exactly as it should. So I'm thrilled with the phone. I've been using it for about a week now. Charges great on the magsafe charger as well. The problem I have is with customer service. Before I purchased this phone I read all the reviews and recall someone else bringing this up, so it still seems to be an issue. Or possibly it just happens on occasion and I happen to get a phone in this situation. The problem is when the seller gets the phone and does whatever it is they do to restore or refurbish it, they need to then erase it completely and set it back to original factory settings so that when the consumer receives it, we turn it on to the "hello" screen and can set the language and take it through the proper step by step set up. What I received was a phone that had already gone through the set up process and it was in a different language. So I was completely stuck as I don't speak Chinese. I had no idea what buttons to press or how to fix it because of course it was all in Chinese. Luckily, I figured out to use my old iPhone and try to recognize some of the icon images on the screen of the new iPhone and match side-by-side the steps on my old iPhone the best I could and it ended up working where I was able to erase this phone and reset it to factory settings to get it to start up on the "hello" set up screen so I could choose English as the language and go through the proper set up. The customer should never have to go through this much trouble as the seller should be providing the phones already ready for us to set up and not have us have to work magic to try to figure it out as many people are not super tech savvy and this could really be quite frustrating. It's a simple thing, but it's a big thing, and the seller really needs to be aware of this and not continue sending phones out that aren't ready with the set up screen for the new owner. With all that said, the phone works great, it arrived on time and I'm very happy with the phone and if I were to purchase another refurbished phone I would probably buy it from this seller again as the quality is good. Maybe my set up was just a mistake and maybe they deliver it properly most of the time, not sure.

I got mine through eco buy phone and the phone came in perfect condition, no visible scratches, everything works, and battery life is at 85%, the only thing wrong with it, is that it has some practically invisible burn in on the screen where the navigation bar, time and battery are at. I’ve had zero issues other than that. It’s an amazing upgrade from my dying xr that I’ve had for almost 7 years.

I was honestly a little nervous about buying a refurbished phone, but I’m so glad I did. The phone arrived in great condition—clean, no noticeable scratches, and it works perfectly. Battery life is strong, performance is smooth, and everything functions just like a new phone. Setup was easy, it came well packaged, and shipping was fast. You truly can’t tell it’s refurbished. I saved money and got a phone that feels brand new. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and would 100% recommend this seller to anyone considering a refurbished phone!

got the 14 plus “excellent” version. It’s clean, no scratches, but battery life @ 85%. whatever, they should honestly let you know about the battery life fr , but battery holds up fine, so far. pretty good If you’re looking for an affordable iPhone **

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (So far) I was pretty wary at first about buying this refurbished iPhone, especially since the seller [2ndPhoneClub] had around 14% 1-star reviews. But after actually receiving it, I’m honestly impressed. I ordered an iPhone 14 Plus in Excellent condition, and it arrived meeting — and even exceeding — what I needed. I’m switching from a Samsung Galaxy A15 (Android) to iPhone. I am also a VTuber, so having an iPhone for good face tracking was important to me, and this is a big upgrade from webcam tracking. In addition to VTubing, I plan to use this phone for normal everyday use. So far, general usage like navigating the UI, installing apps, media playback, and overall performance has been smooth and reliable. I haven’t made calls or sent texts yet, but everything else has worked as expected. The iOS UI was easy to learn, and getting used to it didn’t take long. Cosmetically, the phone is in great shape. There is a very small scratch near the camera, but it’s barely noticeable unless you look closely. The rims have a little wear, and there are a few small white spots near the ports, but nothing that affects use. Overall, I’d say it feels almost like new. The speakers are solid and much better than the phone I previously used for recording. Battery health is at 100%, which was a huge plus, and everything appears fully functional. It seems like the phone was tested before being shipped. I highly recommend getting a protective case, especially because of the glass back. I haven’t tested durability yet, but so far everything feels sturdy. These thoughts are based on my first 2–3 days of use, and I plan to update this review over time to help future buyers. So far, I’m very happy with this purchase. Oh and brightness Was pretty good! the colors on some colors like sun sets in games and stuff pop!

Paid for Excellent Refurbished Red 256GB. Arrived with slight red paint chips along the edge were noticed and I could have touched up with red nail polish, but a new cover hid most of them. Seller included a USB-C cable instead of a lightning cable? Ha Ha, Luckily we have enough Apple devices at home to cover that. Battery Health came in at 86% No scratches to lenses or front screen. Activated to AT&T eSIM, was OK, not easy or painful, in the middle. Wife says that she had some unexpected shutdowns using this phone, unrelated to iOS updates, so I will continue to monitor for that. I had to use a laptop, cable, and iTunes to copy data. ****UPDATE**** - 41 days later - messages on this iPhone about battery overheating, and getting random shutdown/rebooting in the middle of regular use (texting, calling). Monitoring but likely will send back and try another unit. ****UPDATE #2*** - 62 days later and phone now rebooting throughout the day, there is some message about battery temp alarm then goes into reboot. I spent hours with Amazon tech support, and finally they told me to contact the seller WCell I did, but then never responded, so Amazon and 6 different chat agents later issues a refund once receiving the unit back with AppleID removed. ****UPDATE #3*** - Ordered replacement phone, this time seller = Woot. Condition was listed as excellent refurbished, but phone came in with just 80% battery health. Amazon says all I can do is replace it, but now it's set up to use Apple ID and will be a real pain to switch it out. Can't you sellers check these before shipping them out?? This phone should have been listed as "Refurbished - Good or Average" condition instead. This is sloppy selling & I think I paid too much and reeks of bait and switch..
